Copresents is an RMIT student initiative that aims to unite mates through music in support of The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne.

On Saturday 19 November, the RMIT Alumni Courtyard will be transformed into an inner city boutique music and food event which includes performances from Northeast Party House (Live), Total Giovanni DJs, LOSSLESS (Oscar Key Sung + HTMLflowers) and Nite Fleit with more to be announced including one very special international DJ & producer.

Tickets to the event are only $5 and 100% of the entry charge will be donated directly to The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. Tickets are on sale now, and are expected to move quickly.

Copresents offers RMIT students invaluable work experience and practice through working with major industry partners such as Mushroom Group (event management / promotions), Niika (creative design), Tokyo Tina + Hanoi Hannah (food) and Nique (branding and merchandising). Tokyo Tina and Hanoi Hannah will be setting up stalls and serving fare all day alongside Two Birds will be serving drinks including their much hyped Taco Beer.

The Lineup:

Northeast Party House, a Melbourne-based six-piece landlord’s nightmare that formed in 2010 after a two-week-long house party. They were first unearthed by triple j back in 2010 with their single ‘Dusk’, and by the time they dropped their full-length debut album Any Given Weekend in 2014, they had already established themselves as one of Australia’s biggest ‘underground’ artists. After touring the world and establishing a fan base in both the US and UK, they returned to Australia in 2016 to bring fans Dare, their incredible sophomore album. Their collection of guitar heavy dance jams, was recorded at Hackney Road Studios in London as well as a variety of local Melbourne studios. NPH favourites include ‘For You’ and ‘Youth Allowance’.

Total Giovanni DJs make up the most sexually charged discothèque this side of the tropic of Capricorn. Earning notoriety from their visually unique and highly energetic live shows, three members of the band, Frankie Topaz, Spike Punch and Shattered Guru will come together on November 19 to mix dance music that enables collective psychic liberation. With sets that move from smooth boogie to shamanic disco and heartbreak house, TG have built a reputation on whipping small music venues into wild bacchanalian frenzies. Prepare yourselves.

LOSSLESS is a collaboration between Melbourne artists Oscar Key Sung and HTMLflowers. Oscar Key Sung is something ecstatic and undone, a sound that winds simultaneously through RnB’s golden past and pop’s near future. HTMLflowers cites Wu-Tang Clan, Björk, Alps of New South Wails and Destiny’s Child among others as his inspiration. His thought provoking rap adds a deeper layer to the music of Lossless. The combined forces of these two, while eclectic and undefinable, fit together like a jigsaw. Hear the magic in tracks ‘Teeth Real Yellow’ and ‘My Clique’.

Nite Fleit is the queen of chugging Balearic, acid and industrial beat. Her obsessive DJ practice and insatiable appetite for records has seen Nite Fleit quickly become an important fixture in the local scene. A regular at Melbourne’s Power Station, she’s graced the stages at Dark Mofo and the Sydney Biennale, and supported the likes of Maurice Fulton, Public Possession and Scott Fraser.

Few events offer quality artists and amazing food at such an incredible price point, all the while supporting a fantastic cause and giving students practical music industry experience. Tickets are on sale now (Thursday 20 October), secure your tickets now to avoid missing out.
